<P>Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an
American singer-songwriter. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, United States,
Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career
in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and
became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing
house. The release of Swift's eponymous debut album in 2006 established her as
a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the
youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number one song on the
country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.</P>

<p>Swift's
second album, Fearless, was released in 2008. Buoyed by the pop crossover
success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with
Me", Fearless became the best-selling album of 2009 and was supported by
an extensive concert tour. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift
becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Swift's third album,
2010's Speak Now, sold over one million copies in its first week of US release
and was supported by the thirteen-month Speak Now World Tour. The album's third
single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards. Swift's fourth album, Red, was
released in 2012. Its opening US sales of 1.2 million were the highest recorded
in a decade, with Swift becoming the only female artist to have two
million-plus opening weeks. The singles "We Are Never Ever Getting Back
Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" were worldwide hits. The
Red Tour is scheduled to begin in March 2013. </p>

<p>Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989
in Reading, Pennsylvania. Her father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is a Merrill Lynch
financial adviser. He was raised in Pennsylvania and is the descendant of three
generations of bank presidents. Her mother, Andrea (née Finlay), is a homemaker
who previously worked as a mutual fund marketing executive. Andrea spent the
first ten years of her life in Singapore, before settling in Texas; her father
was an oil rig engineer who worked throughout Southeast Asia. Swift was given a
gender-neutral name because her mother believed it would help her forge a
successful business career. She has a younger brother, Austin, who attends the
University of Notre Dame. She spent the early years of her life on an
eleven-acre Christmas tree farm in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She
attended preschool and kindergarten at the Alvernia Montessori School, run by
Franciscan nuns, and was later educated at the fee-paying Wyndcroft School.
When Swift was nine years old, the family moved to Wyomissing, Pennsylvania,
where she attended West Reading Elementary Center and Wyomissing Area
Junior/Senior High School. She summered at her parents' vacation home in Stone
Harbor, New Jersey and has described it as the place "where most of my
childhood memories were formed".</p>

<p>Swift's
family owned several Quarter horses and a Shetland pony and her first hobby was
English horse riding. Her mother first put her in a saddle when she was nine
months old and she later competed in horse shows. At the age of nine, Swift
became interested in musical theatre. She performed in many Berks Youth Theatre
Academy productions and traveled regularly to Broadway, New York for vocal and
acting lessons. Swift then turned her attention to country music and spent her
weekends performing at local festivals, fairs, coffeehouses, karaoke contests,
garden clubs, Boy Scout meetings and sporting events. At the age of eleven,
after many attempts, Swift won a local talent competition by singing a
rendition of LeAnn Rimes's "Big Deal", and was given the opportunity
to appear as the opening act for Charlie Daniels at a Strausstown amphitheater.
This growing ambition began to isolate Swift from her middle school
peers.</p>

style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
<p>After
watching a Behind the Music episode about Faith Hill, Swift felt sure that she
needed to go to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a music career. At the age of
eleven, she traveled with her mother to Nashville for spring break to leave a
demo of Dolly Parton and Dixie Chicks karaoke covers with record labels along
Music Row. She received label rejections and realized that "everyone in
that town wanted to do what I wanted to do. So, I kept thinking to myself, I
need to figure out a way to be different". At the age of twelve, Swift was
shown by a computer repairman how to play three chords on a guitar, inspiring
her to write her first song, "Lucky You". She had previously won a
national poetry contest with a poem entitled "Monster in My Closet"
but now began to focus on songwriting. In 2003, Swift and her parents started
working with New York-based music manager Dan Dymtrow. With Dymtrow's help,
Swift modelled for Abercrombie and Fitch as part of their "Rising
Stars" campaign, had an original song included in a Maybelline Cosmetics
compilation CD and took meetings with major record labels. After performing
original songs at an RCA Records showcase, the eight-grader was given an artist
development deal and began making frequent trips to Nashville.</p>

<P>When Swift was fourteen, her father transferred to
the Nashville office of Merrill Lynch and the family relocated to a lake-shore
house in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Swift later described this as "an
incredible sacrifice" for her family to make. "My parents saw that I
was so obsessed, that I wasn't going to drop it, that it wasn't some adolescent
phase." In Tennessee, she attended Hendersonville High School for her
freshman and sophomore years. Later, to accommodate her touring schedule, Swift
transferred to the Aaron Academy, a private Christian school which offered
homeschooling services. She earned her high school diploma in 2008, having
completed her final two years of course work in twelve months.</P>

<P>Swift made her acting debut in a 2009 episode of
CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, playing a rebellious teenager. The New
York Times noted that the character allowed Swift to be "a little bit
naughty, and credibly so". Rolling Stone felt she "held her own"
and "does a good job with the script" while the Chicago Tribune said
she "acquits herself well". Later that year, Swift both hosted and
performed as the musical guest for an episode of Saturday Night Live.
Entertainment Weekly described her as "this season's best Saturday Night
Live host so far", noting that she "was always up for the challenge,
seemed to be having fun, and helped the rest of the cast nail the
punchlines". Proving "admirably resilient in a wide variety of sketch
roles", "Swift inspired more of a female, girly-in-the-best-sense
sensibility in SNL than it's shown since the Tina Fey-Amy Poehler days".</P>

<P>Swift made her feature film acting debut in the
2010 ensemble comedy Valentine's Day, playing the ditzy Valley girlfriend of a
high school jock. The Los Angeles Times felt the performance suggested
"serious comedic potential" while the San Francisco Chronicle found
her "very funny". Time remarked that Swift portrayed her character
"rather charmingly"; The Boston Globe described her as "adorably
dorky". Salon asserted that she was "one of the few actors not wasted
in "Valentine's Day". Her overgrown-pixie look and odd, widely set
eyes lend her a little bit of Marilyn and a little bit of Lucille Ball: She's
Taylor-made for comic greatness." However, Variety found her
"entirely undirected ... she needs to find a skilled director to tamp her down
and channel her obviously abundant energy". The Daily News described her
performance as "painfully clunky" while Slant Magazine found her
"unwatchable". In 2012, Swift voiced the character of Audrey, a tree
lover, in the animated film The Lorax.</P>

<P>Swift's philanthropic efforts have been recognised by the Do
Something Awards, The Giving Back Fund and the Tennessee Disaster Services. In
2012, Michelle Obama presented Swift with The Big Help Award for her
"dedication to helping others" and "inspiring others through
action". Also that year, Kerry Kennedy of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for
Justice and Human Rights presented Swift with the Ripple of Hope Award because
of her "dedication to advocacy at such a young age ... Taylor is just the
kind of woman we want our daughters to be."</P>

<P>Swift is a supporter of arts education. In 2010,
she donated $75,000 to Nashville's Hendersonville High School to help refurbish
the school auditorium's sound and lighting systems. In 2012, she pledged $4
million to fund the building of a new education center at the Country Music
Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. The 7,500-square-foot building is
scheduled to open in 2014 and will facilitate new programs and workshops for
teenagers and senior citizens. The space will include three classrooms and an
exhibit space, and will house interactive activities such as a musical petting
zoo and a "wet" classroom space to make concert posters and other art
projects. Museum officials have decided to name it The Taylor Swift Education
Center and the singer will be involved in an advisory capacity. Also in 2012,
Swift partnered with textbook rental company Chegg to donate $60,000 to the
music departments of six US colleges.</P>

<P>Swift promotes children's literacy. In 2009, she
donated $250,000 to various schools around the country that she had either
attended or had other associations with. The money was used to buy books, fund
educational programs and help pay teachers' salaries. In 2010, she took part in
a live webcast, Read Now! with Taylor Swift, broadcast exclusively in US
schools to celebrate Scholastic's Read Every Day campaign. In 2011, Swift
donated 6,000 Scholastic books to Reading Public Library, Pennsylvania and, in
2012, she donated 14,000 books to Nashville Public Library, Tennessee. Most of
the books were placed in circulation; the rest were gifted to children from
low-income families, preschools and daycare centers. In 2012, she co-chaired
the National Education Association's Read Across America campaign and recorded
a PSA encouraging children to read. Also in 2012, Swift promoted the
"power of reading" in a second live Scholastic webcast, broadcast
directly to US classrooms. In 2013, through the Reach Out and Read initiative,
she donated 2,000 Scholastic books to the Reading Hospital Child Health
Center's early literacy program.</P>

<P>Throughout her career, Swift has donated money to
help victims of natural disasters. In 2008, she donated the proceeds from her
merchandise sales at the Country Music Festival to the Red Cross's disaster
relief fund. Later that year, she donated $100,000 to the Red Cross to help the
victims of the Iowa flood of 2008. In 2009, Swift supported the Victorian
Bushfire Appeal by joining the lineup at Sydney's Sound Relief concert,
reportedly making the biggest contribution of any artist to the Australian Red
Cross. In 2010, she took part in the Hope for Haiti telethon; she performed and
answered phone calls from viewers wishing to donate money. She also recorded a
song for the Hope for Haiti Now album. In response to the May 2010 Tennessee
floods, Swift donated $500,000 during a telethon hosted by WSMV. Later that
year, she donated $100,000 to help rebuild a playground in Hendersonville,
Tennessee which was damaged by floodwater. In 2011, Swift used the final dress
rehearsal for the North American leg of her Speak Now tour as a benefit concert
for victims of recent tornadoes in the United States, raising more than
$750,000. She also donated $250,000 to Alabama football coach Nick Saban's
charity, Nick's Kids, to aid in the tornado relief efforts of West Alabama. In
2012, Swift supported Architecture for Humanity's Restore the Shore MTV
telethon in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.</P>

<P>Swift opposes LGBT discrimination. Following the
2008 murder of Larry King, she recorded a Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education
Network PSA to combat hate crimes. On the first anniversary of King's death,
Swift told Seventeen that her parents taught her "never to judge others
based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion". In
2011, the music video for Swift's anti-bullying song "Mean" dealt in
part with homophobia in high schools; the video was later nominated for an MTV
VMA social activism award. The New York Times believes she is part of "a
new wave of young (and mostly straight) women who are providing the soundtrack
for a generation of gay fans coming to terms with their identity in a time of
turbulent and confusing cultural messages".</P>

<P>The singer is involved with a number of charities
which provide services to sick children. In 2008, she donated a pink Chevy
pick-up truck to the Victory Junction Gang Camp; the truck is used to transport
sick children from the airport to the camp. In 2009, after performing at the
BBC Children in Need annual telethon, she donated $20,000 to the cause. In
2011, as the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year, Swift donated
$25,000 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Tennessee. This figure was
matched by the Academy. In 2012, Swift participated in the Stand Up to Cancer
telethon, performing "Ronan", a song she wrote in memory of a
four-year-old boy who died of neuroblastoma. The song was made available for
digital download, with all proceeds donated to cancer-related charities. Swift
has met with many sick fans through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She has also
made private visits to hospitals such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital,
the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Ronald McDonald House.</P>

teenagers the opportunity to direct the company's philanthropy. In 2007, she
launched a campaign to protect children from online predators, in partnership
with the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police. Also in 2007, she supported
an Allstate campaign which promotes safe teenage driving. In 2009, Swift
recorded a Sound Matters PSA to make listeners aware of the importance of
listening "responsibly". She appeared in a Got Milk? campaign in
2010. Swift has donated auctionable items to a large number of charities,
including the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the UNICEF Tap Project, Oxfam
International, Habitat For Humanity, MusiCares and Feeding America. She has
also performed at a number of benefit concerts, including for the Food Bank For
New York City, the Reading, Writing & Rhythm Foundation, Christmas for Kids

<h3>Politics</h3>
<p>Swift says she registered to vote on her eighteenth
birthday. During the 2008 presidential campaign, she supported the Every Woman
Counts campaign, aimed at engaging women in the political process, and was one
of many country stars to record a public service announcement for the Vote (For
Your) Country campaign. She stated: "I don't think it's my job to try and
influence people which way they should vote." Following President Obama's
inauguration, she told Rolling Stone that she supported the president: "I've
never seen this country so happy about a political decision in my entire time
of being alive. I'm so glad this was my first election."</p>

<p>In 2010, former U.S. President George H. W. Bush
attended the taping of a Swift television special in Kennebunkport, Maine, and
later described Swift as "unspoiled" and "very nice". In
2012, Swift was presented with a Kids' Choice Award in recognition of her
charitable work by Michelle Obama, who praised her as someone who "has rocketed
to the top of the music industry but still keeps her feet on the ground,
someone who has shattered every expectation of what a 22-year old can
accomplish". Swift later described the First Lady as "a role
model". In a 2012 interview, Swift remarked that, although she tries to
keep herself “as educated and informed as possible”, she doesn’t “talk about
politics because it might influence other people." She has spoken of her
interest in American history and has read books about Abraham Lincoln, John
Adams, the Founding Fathers and Ellis Island.</p>

<P>Swift is a friend of the Kennedy family.
"She's a great friend of all of ours," Rory Kennedy has said.
"She's awesome and we love her". The singer has spoken of her
admiration for Ethel Kennedy and, when asked about her friendship with Swift,
Ethel replied, "Oh, she is amazing! Such good company." Rory has
said, "There is a mutual admiration society between my mother and Taylor
Swift and I just love it! I think it says so much about Taylor – she has that
ability to connect and cross generations ... She's terrific and such a great
role model for young girls, as well as for all women, really ... She's just so
curious and interested".</P>

<h3>2004–08: Career Beginnings And Taylor
Swift</h3>
<div
style="text-align: justify;">
<P>Swift moved to Nashville at the age of fourteen. As
part of her artist development deal with RCA Records, she had writing sessions
with experienced Music Row songwriters such as Troy Verges, Brett Beavers,
Brett James, Mac McAnally and The Warren Brothers. She eventually formed a
lasting working relationship with Liz Rose. Swift saw Rose performing at an RCA
songwriter event and suggested that they write together. They began meeting for
two-hour writing sessions every Tuesday afternoon after school. Rose has said
that the sessions were "some of the easiest I've ever done. Basically, I was
just her editor. She'd write about what happened in school that day. She had
such a clear vision of what she was trying to say. And she'd come in with the
most incredible hooks". Swift also began recording demos with producer
Nathan Chapman. After performing at a BMI Songwriter's Circle showcase at The
Bitter End, New York, Swift became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the
Sony/ATV Tree publishing house. She left RCA Records when she was fifteen; the
company wanted her to record the work of other songwriters and wait until she
was eighteen to release an album, but she felt ready to launch her career with
her own material. She also parted ways with manager Dan Dymtrow, who later took
legal action against Swift and her parents. "I genuinely felt that I was
running out of time," Swift later recalled. "I wanted to capture
these years of my life on an album while they still represented what I was
going through." At an industry showcase at Nashville's Bluebird Café in
2005, Swift caught the attention of Scott Borchetta, a Dreamworks Records
executive who was preparing to form his own independent record label, Big
Machine Records. She became one of the label's first signings, with her father
purchasing a three per cent stake in the fledgling company. As an introduction
to the country music business, Borchetta arranged for Swift to intern as an
artist escort at the CMA Music Festival.</P>

<P>Swift began working on her eponymous debut album
shortly after signing her record deal. After experimenting with veteran
Nashville producers, Swift persuaded Big Machine to hire her demo producer
Nathan Chapman. It was his first time to record a studio album but Swift felt
they had the right "chemistry". Swift wrote three of the album's
songs alone, including two singles, and co-wrote the remaining eight with
writers such as Liz Rose, Robert Ellis Orrall and Angelo Petraglia. Musically,
the album has been described as "a mix of trad-country instruments and
spry rock guitars". Taylor Swift was released in October 2006. The New
York Times described it as "a small masterpiece of pop-minded country,
both wide-eyed and cynical, held together by Ms. Swift's firm, pleading voice.
"The New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones described the sixteen-year-old Swift
as a "prodigy". He noted that "Our Song" "stop[ed] me
in my tracks" and praised the lyrics: "He's got a one-hand feel on
the steering wheel, the other on my heart". Rolling Stone described Swift
as "bright-eyed but remarkably seasoned", and admired "Our
Song"'s "insanely hooky sing-song melody that's as Britney as it is
Patsy".</P>

style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
<P>Big Machine Records was still in its infancy upon
the release of the lead single "Tim McGraw" in June 2006, and Swift
and her mother helped "stuff the CD singles into envelopes to send to
radio". She spent much of 2006 promoting Taylor Swift in a radio tour and
later commented, "Radio tours for most artists last six weeks. Mine lasted
six months." Swift baked cookies and painted canvases to gift to radio
station programmers who played her music. She made many television appearances,
including on the Grand Ole Opry, Good Morning America, and TRL. Swift, a
self-described "kid of the internet", used MySpace to build a
fanbase. This was, at the time, "revolutionary in country music".
Borchetta has said that his decision to sign a sixteen-year-old
singer-songwriter initially raised eyebrows among his record industry peers but
Swift tapped into a previously unknown market: teenage girls who listen to
country music. Following "Tim McGraw", four further singles were
released throughout 2007 and 2008: "Teardrops on My Guitar",
"Our Song", "Picture to Burn" and "Should've Said
No". All were highly successful on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart,
with "Our Song" and "Should've Said No" both reaching
number one. "Our Song" made Swift the youngest person to
single-handedly write and sing a number one country song. "Teardrops on My
Guitar" became a minor pop hit; it reached number thirteen on the
Billboard Hot 100. The album sold 39,000 copies during its first week of
release and, as of March 2011, has sold over 5.5 million copies worldwide.
Swift also released a holiday album, Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift
Holiday Collection, in October 2007 and an EP, Beautiful Eyes, in July 2008.
Swift and Alan Jackson were jointly named the Nashville Songwriters
Association's Songwriter/Artist of the Year in 2007, with Swift becoming the
youngest person ever to be honored with the title. She also won the Country
Music Association's Horizon Award for Best New Artist,[56] the Academy of
Country Music Awards's Top New Female Vocalist award and the American Music
Awards's Favorite Country Female Artist honor. She was also nominated for a
2008 Grammy Award in the category of Best New Artist, but lost to Amy
Winehouse.</P>

<P>Swift toured extensively in support of Taylor
Swift. In addition to performing her own material, Swift played covers of songs
by Beyoncé, Rihanna, John Waite, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Eminem. She conducted
meet-and-greet sessions with fans before and after her concerts; these lasted
for up to four hours. As well as festival and theater dates, Swift performed as
an opening act for several country artists' concert tours. In late 2006, she
opened for Rascal Flatts on the final nine dates of their Me & My Gang
Tour, after the previous supporting act Eric Church was fired. Swift later sent
Church her first gold record with a note: "Thanks for playing too long and
too loud on the Flatts tour. I sincerely appreciate it. Taylor". In 2007,
she served as the opening act on twenty dates for George Strait's tour, several
dates on Kenny Chesney's Flip-Flop Summer Tour, selected dates on Brad
Paisley's Bonfires & Amplifiers Tour and several dates for Tim McGraw and
Faith Hill's joint Soul2Soul II Tour. Swift again opened for Rascal Flatts on
their Still Feels Good Tour in 2008.</P>

<h3>2008–10: Fearless, VMA Controversy And Grammy
Backlash</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<P>Swift's second studio album, Fearless, was released
in November 2008. Swift wrote seven of the album's songs alone, including two
singles, and co-wrote the remaining six with songwriters Liz Rose, John Rich,
Colbie Caillat and Hillary Lindsey. She co-produced the album with Nathan
Chapman. Musically, it has been said that the record is characterized by
"loud, lean guitars and rousing choruses", with the occasional
"bit of fiddle and banjo tucked into the mix". The New York Times
described Swift as "one of pop's finest songwriters, country's foremost
pragmatist and more in touch with her inner life than most adults". The
Village Voice felt she displayed "preternatural wisdom and
inclusiveness", "masterfully avoiding the typical diarist's pitfalls
of trite banality and pseudo-profound bullshit". Rolling Stone described
her as "a songwriting savant with an intuitive gift for
verse-chorus-bridge architecture" whose "squirmingly intimate and
true" songs seemed to be "literally ripped from a suburban girl's
diary". Music critic Robert Christgau characterized Swift as "an
uncommonly-to-impossibly strong and gifted teenage girl". Swift promoted
Fearless heavily upon its release. An episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show was
dedicated to the album launch and Swift appeared on many other chat shows. She
communicated with fans using social media platforms such as Twitter and
personal video blogs. The lead single from the album, "Love Story",
was released in September 2008 and became the second best-selling country
single of all time, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Four
more singles were released throughout 2008 and 2009: "White Horse",
"You Belong with Me", "Fifteen" and "Fearless".
"You Belong with Me" was the album's highest-charting single, peaking
at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. The album debuted at number one on the
Billboard 200 Album Chart with sales of 592,304 and has since sold over 8.6
million copies worldwide. It was the top-selling album of 2009 and brought
Swift much crossover success.</P>

<P>Swift carried out her first headlining tour in
support of Fearless. As part of the 105-date Fearless Tour, Swift played 90
dates in North America, six dates in Europe, eight dates in Australia and one
date in Asia. She sang a cover of Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around...
Comes Around" nightly, intertwined with her own "You're Not
Sorry". Swift invited John Mayer, Faith Hill and Katy Perry to perform
one-off duets with her at various dates during the North American tour, while
Justin Bieber, Kellie Pickler and Gloriana were the support acts. The tour was
attended by more than 1.1 million fans and grossed over $63 million. Taylor
Swift: Journey to Fearless, a concert film, was aired on television and later
released on DVD and Blu-ray. Swift also performed as a supporting act for Keith
Urban's Escape Together World Tour. In addition to tour dates, the singer paid
tribute to a number of fellow artists in televised performances. She performed
a cover of Alan Jackson's "Drive (For Daddy Gene)" at the CMT Giants:
Alan Jackson event, took part in a joint, televised concert with rock band Def
Leppard in Nashville, and performed a cover of George Strait's "Run"
at a televised ACM event honoring Strait as the Artist of the Decade. Swift sang
her song "Fifteen" with Miley Cyrus at the 51st Grammy Awards and
performed a self-penned rap skit with T-Pain at the CMT Awards. Swift also
recorded a number of side-projects. She released a cover of Tom Petty's
"American Girl" through Rhapsody in 2009 and continues to make her
stage entrance to Petty's recording of the song. She contributed backing vocals
to John Mayer's "Half of My Heart", a single featured on his fourth
album. She co-wrote and recorded "Best Days of Your Life" with Kellie
Pickler and co-wrote two songs for the Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack –
"You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home" and "Crazier" –
with Martin Johnson and Robert Ellis Orrall, respectively. Swift also provided
vocals for Boys Like Girls's "Two Is Better Than One", written by
Martin Johnson. She contributed two songs – including "Today Was a
Fairytale" – to the Valentine's Day soundtrack and recorded a cover of
Better Than Ezra's "Breathless" for the Hope for Haiti Now
album.</P>

<P>Swift became the first country music artist to win
an MTV Video Music Award when "You Belong with Me" was named Best
Female Video in 2009. Her acceptance speech was interrupted by rapper Kanye
West, who had been involved in a number of other award show incidents. In the
event's press room, Swift, a fan of West's music, denied having "any hard
feelings" towards him. The incident received much media attention and
inspired many Internet memes. A few days later, Swift told an interviewer that
West offered her a personal apology, which she accepted: "He was very
sincere." She refused to discuss the incident in subsequent interviews so
as not to make a "bigger deal" of it: "It happened on TV, so
everybody saw what happened ... It's not something I feel like we need to keep
talking about." It has been said that the incident and subsequent media
attention turned Swift into "a bona-fide mainstream
celebrity".</P>

<P>Swift won four Grammy Awards in 2010, from a total
of eight nominations. Fearless was named Album of the Year and Best Country
Album, while "White Horse" was named Best Country Song and Best
Female Country Vocal Performance. She was the youngest ever artist to win Album
of the Year.[106] During the ceremony, Swift sang "Rhiannon" and
"You Belong with Me" with Stevie Nicks. Her vocal performance
received negative reviews and sparked a widespread media backlash. Her vocals
were described variously as "badly off-key", "strikingly
bad" and "incredibly wretched". While The New York Times found
it "refreshing to see someone so gifted make the occasional flub" and
described Swift as "the most important new pop star of the past few
years", music analyst Bob Lefsetz predicted that her career would end
"overnight". He publicly appealed to Swift's father to hire a
"crisis publicity agent" to manage the story because "Taylor's
too young and dumb to understand the mistake she made". Stevie Nicks,
writing in Time, defended the singer: "Taylor reminds me of myself in her
determination and her childlike nature. It's an innocence that's so special and
so rare. This girl writes the songs that make the whole world sing, like Neil
Diamond or Elton John ... The female rock-'n'-roll-country-pop songwriter is
back, and her name is Taylor Swift. And it's women like her who are going to
save the music business." Fearless won many other accolades and has become
the most awarded album in country music history. Swift became the youngest ever
artist and one of only six women to be named Entertainer of the Year by the
Country Music Association. Fearless also won the Association's Album of the
Year award. Swift was the youngest ever artist to win the Academy of Country
Music's Album of the Year honor. The American Music Awards honored Swift with
Artist of the Year and Favorite Country Album plaudits. She was awarded the Hal
David Starlight Award by the Songwriters Hall of Fame and was named
Songwriter/Artist of the Year by the Nashville Songwriters Association.
Billboard named her 2009's Artist of the Year. Swift was included in Time's
annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in 2010.</P>

<h3>2010–12: Speak Now; Live And Studio
Collaborations</h3>
<div
style="text-align: justify;">
<P>Swift released her third studio album, Speak Now,
in October 2010. She wrote all twelve songs alone and co-produced the record
with longtime collaborator Nathan Chapman. Musically, it has been said that the
album "expands beyond country-pop to border both alternative rock and
dirty bubblegum pop". The New York Times described the album as savage,
musically diverse and "excellent too, possibly her best". The Village
Voice remarked that the album demanded "a true appreciation of Swift's
talent, which is not confessional, but dramatic: Like a procession of country
songwriters before her, she creates characters and situations—some from
life—and finds potent ways to describe them." Music critic Robert
Christgau found the album's songs "overlong and overworked" but
remarked that "they evince an effort that bears a remarkable resemblance
to care—that is, to caring in the best, broadest, and most emotional
sense". Rolling Stone described Swift as one of the best songwriters in
"pop, rock or country": "Swift might be a clever Nashville pro
who knows all the hitmaking tricks, but she's also a high-strung, hyper-romantic
gal with a melodramatic streak the size of the Atchafalaya Swamp". Swift
carried out an extensive promotional campaign prior to Speak Now's release. She
appeared on various talk shows and morning shows, and gave free mini-concerts
in unusual locations, including an open-decker bus on Hollywood Boulevard and a
departure lounge at JFK airport. She took part in a "guitar pull"
alongside Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill and Lionel Ritchie at
LA's Club Nokia; the musicians shared the stage and took turns introducing and
playing acoustic versions of their songs to raise money for the Country Music
Hall of Fame and Museum. The album's lead single, "Mine", was
released in August 2010 and five further singles were released throughout 2010
and 2011: "Back to December", "Mean", "The Story of
Us", "Sparks Fly" and "Ours". Speak Now was a major
commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. Its
opening sales of 1,047,000 copies made it the sixteenth album in US history to
sell one million copies in a single week. As of February 2012, Speak Now has
sold over 5.7 million copies worldwide.</P>

<P>Swift toured throughout 2011 and early 2012 in
support of Speak Now. As part of the thirteen-month, 111-date world tour, Swift
played seven shows in Asia, twelve shows in Europe, 80 shows in North America
and twelve shows in Australasia. Swift invited many musicians to join her for
one-off duets during the North American tour. Appearances were made by James
Taylor, Jason Mraz, Shawn Colvin, Johnny Rzeznik, Andy Grammer, Tal Bachman,
Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Nicki Minaj, Nelly, B.o.B, Usher, Flo Rida, T.I.,
Jon Foreman, Jim Adkins, Hayley Williams, Hot Chelle Rae, Ronnie Dunn, Darius
Rucker, Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. During the North American tour leg, Swift
wrote different song lyrics on her left arm for each performance and has said
that the lyrics should be viewed as a nightly "mood ring". Swift
performed many acoustic cover versions during her North American tour. In each
city, she paid tribute to a homegrown artist. She has said the cover versions
allowed her to be "spontaneous" in an otherwise well-rehearsed show. The
tour was attended by over 1.6 million fans and grossed over $123 million.
Swift's first live album, Speak Now World Tour: Live, featuring all seventeen
performances from the North American leg of the tour, was released in November
2011.</P>

<P>At the 54th Grammy Awards, Swift's song
"Mean" won Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. She
also performed the song during the ceremony. Bob Lefsetz, one of the most vocal
critics of her 2010 Grammy performance, believes the song is addressed to him.
Lefsetz had previously been a supporter of the singer's career, and Swift and
Lefsetz had corresponded occasionally by email and telephone. Time felt she
"delivered her comeback on-key and with a vengeance" while USA Today
remarked that the criticism in 2010 seemed to have "made her a better
songwriter and live performer". Swift won various other awards for Speak
Now. She was named Songwriter/Artist of the Year by the Nashville Songwriters
Association in both 2010 and 2011. She was named Entertainer of the Year by the
Academy of Country Music in both 2011 and 2012 and was named Entertainer of the
Year by the Country Music Association in 2011. Swift was the American Music
Awards's Artist of the Year in 2011, while Speak Now was named Favorite Country
Album. Billboard named Swift 2011's Woman of the Year.</P>
<!--friendfinder2-->
<!--friendfinder sampe sini-->
<P>While Swift was completing her fourth album in the
summer of 2012, James Taylor invited her to appear as a special guest during
his Tanglewood set; they performed "Fire and Rain", "Love
Story" and "Ours" together. Taylor, who first met Swift when she
was eighteen, has said that, "we just hit it off. I loved her songs, and
her presence on stage was so great". During this period, Swift also
contributed two original songs to The Hunger Games soundtrack album. "Safe
& Sound" was co-written and recorded with The Civil Wars and T-Bone
Burnett. John Paul White has said working with Swift was "a revelation ...
It truly was a collaboration." It was released as the album's lead single
and, as of January 2013, has sold over 1.4 million copies in the United States.
It was nominated for Best Original Song at the 70th Golden Globe Awards.
Swift's second contribution to the album, "Eyes Open", was written
solely by the singer and produced by Nathan Chapman. In addition, Swift
contributed vocals to "Both of Us", a Dr. Luke-produced single from
B.o.B's second album Strange Clouds.</P>

<h3>2012–present: Red And Tour Announcement</h3>
<div
style="text-align: justify;">
<P>Swift's fourth studio album, Red, was released in
October 2012. She wrote nine of the album's sixteen songs alone. The remaining
seven were co-written with Max Martin, Liz Rose, Dan Wilson, Ed Sheeran and
Gary Lightbody. Nathan Chapman served as the album's lead producer but Jeff
Bhasker, Butch Walker, Jacknife Lee, Dann Huff and Shellback also produced
individual tracks. Chapman has said he encouraged Swift "to branch out and
to test herself in other situations". Musically, while there is
experimentation with heartland rock, dubstep and dance-pop, it is
"sprinkled among more recognisably Swiftian fare". Jon Caramanica of
The New York Times placed Red at number two on his end-of-year list,
characterizing it as the album on which Swift "stops pretending she’s
anything but a pop megastar, one with grown-up concerns, like how two bodies
speak to each other and how taste in records can be a stand-in for moral
turpitude." The Times praised her "sublime" lyrics, particularly
those on the "brooding" "All Too Well". Rolling Stone
enjoyed "watching Swift find her pony-footing on Great Songwriter
Mountain. She often succeeds in joining the Joni/Carole King tradition of
stark-relief emotional mapping ... Her self-discovery project is one of the
best stories in pop."</P>

<P>As part of the Red promotional campaign,
representatives from 72 worldwide radio stations were flown to Nashville during
release week for individual interviews with Swift. She also appeared on many
television chat shows and performed at award ceremonies in the US, the UK,
Germany, France, Spain and Australia. The album's lead single, "We Are
Never Ever Getting Back Together", became Swift's first number one on the
US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Two further singles have been released: "Begin
Again" (to country radio) and I Knew You Were Trouble" (to pop and
international radio). Red debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with
first-week sales of 1.21 million copies; this marked the highest opening sales
in a decade and made Swift the first female to have two million-selling album
openings. As of February 2013, Red had sold over 4 million copies worldwide. In
her career, as of November 2012, she had sold in excess of 26 million albums
and 75 million song downloads.</P>

<P>Swift will embark on the first leg of the Red Tour
from March to September 2013. She will play 64 dates across North America,
including thirteen stadium shows. She provided guest vocals for a Tim McGraw
song entitled "Highway Don't Care", featuring guitar work by Keith
Urban. Ed Sheeran, who features on Red and will appear as a support act on the
Red Tour, has revealed that the pair plan to write further material together
while touring. In early 2013, Swift worked on an as-yet-unknown studio project
with producer Zedd.</P>
<P>Swift received three nominations for the 2013 Grammy
Awards. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was nominated for
Record of the Year. "Safe and Sound", Swift's soundtrack
collaboration with The Civil Wars, won Best Song Written For Visual Media and
was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Swift won three MTV
Europe Music Awards in 2012, including the honors for Best Female and Best Live
Act. She was named Best Female Country Artist at the 2012 American Music
Awards.[181] The Nashville Songwriters Association's 2012 Songwriter/Artist Award
went to Swift for the fifth year in a row.</P>

<div
data-role="content">
<div
style="text-align: justify;">
<P>One of
Swift's earliest musical memories is listening to her maternal grandmother,
Marjorie Finlay (née Moehlenkamp), sing at church. In her youth, Finlay was a
recording star in Puerto Rico and performed in operas in Singapore. As a very
young child, Swift enjoyed Disney movie soundtracks: "My parents noticed
that, once I had run out of words, I would just make up my own". Later,
her parents exposed her to artists including James Taylor, Simon &
Garfunkel and Def Leppard. Swift has said she owes her confidence to her mother,
who helped her prepare for class presentations as a child. She also attributes
her "fascination with writing and storytelling" to her mother. Swift
enjoyed both reading and writing poetry and was particularly drawn to the works
of Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss. She remains interested "in any writing
from a child's perspective" and has cited To Kill a Mockingbird as one of
her favorite books.</P>
<P>Swift was introduced to country music by "the
great female country artists of the '90s ... Shania, Faith, the Dixie Chicks".
She was drawn to both the sound and storytelling of country music. Shania
Twain, both as a songwriter and performer, was her biggest musical influence.
Faith Hill was Swift's childhood role model and she tried to copy
"everything she said, did, wore". Swift admired the Dixie Chicks's
defiant attitude and their ability to play their own instruments. The band's
"Cowboy Take Me Away" was the first song Swift learned to play on the
guitar. She then began to explore the music of older country stars, including
Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton. Lynn's "Fist
City" is one of Swift's favorite country songs. She believes Parton is
"an amazing example to every female songwriter out there". Other
mainstream country influences include Miranda Lambert, Dwight Yoakam, George
Strait, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Martina
McBride, LeAnn Rimes, Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley. Swift also admires
alt-country artists such as Ryan Adams, Patty Griffin, Lori McKenna and Bon
Iver.</P>
<iframe

style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
frameborder="0"></iframe>
<P>Swift has been influenced by many artists outside
the country genre. As a pre-teen, she enjoyed bubblegum pop acts including
Hanson and Britney Spears; she still has "unwavering devotion" for
Spears. In her high school years, Swift listened to emo bands such as Dashboard
Confessional, Fall Out Boy and Jimmy Eat World. She was also a fan of
contemporary female singer-songwriters including Michelle Branch, Pink, Alanis
Morissette, Ashlee Simpson, Kelly Clarkson, Fefe Dobson and Avril Lavigne.
Swift closely followed the musical supervision on the television dramas The
O.C. and Grey's Anatomy, downloading "every" song featured. She was a
fan of hip hop music, particularly the rhyming patterns used by artists such as
Eminem: "Pride [in a lifestyle] is something that both country and hip-hop
share". Swift also drew inspiration from the catalogues of veteran
artists. She describes Stevie Nicks as a "hero" who "has
inspired me in so many ways." Tom Petty, she has said, "is on a pedestal
for me". She is "obsessed" with Sixties acts like The Shirelles,
Doris Troy and The Beach Boys. Influence also came from older female pop rock
singers including Pat Benatar, Melissa Etheridge, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin
and Linda Ronstadt.</P>
<P>Swift lists Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen,
Emmylou Harris and Kris Kristofferson as her career role models: "They've
taken chances, but they've also been the same artist for their entire
careers." McCartney, both as a Beatle and a solo artist, makes Swift feel
"as if I've been let into his heart and his mind": "Any musician
could only dream of a legacy like that." She admires Springsteen because
he is "so musically relevant after such a long period of time". She
aspires to be like Harris as she grows older: "It’s not about fame for
her, it’s about music." Swift says of Kristofferson: "He shines in
songwriting ... He's just one of those people who has been in this business for
years but you can tell it hasn't chewed him up and spat him
out".</P>

<P>Neil Young describes Swift as "a great
writer": "I like listening to her. I kind of like watching her
respond to all the attacks. I like the ways she's defining herself. So I keep
my eye on it". Kris Kristofferson claims that "she blows me away. It's
amazing to me that someone so young is writing such great songs. She's got a
great career ahead of her". Dolly Parton is "extremely impressed with
her, especially with her songwriting .... I'm real impressed with the depth of
her sometimes. She's got the qualities that could last a long time".
Stevie Nicks believes Swift writes "songs that make the whole world sing,
like Neil Diamond or Elton John ... It's women like her who are going to save
the music business". She remarked that the younger singer's "Today Was
A Fairytale" has "stayed in my heart forever. And it just reminds me
of me in a lot of ways." Swift has also received songwriting praise from
contemporaries including Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson and Lady Gaga. Ryan Adams
has said that "every tune of hers is like the one you wait a whole
lifetime to write". Lena Dunham, the creator and star of HBO's television
series Girls, has described Swift as her "artistic kindred
spirit."</P>

<img

<P>Thematically, The Guardian has noted that Swift was
"fantastically good at regarding teenage life with a kind of wistful,
sepia-toned nostalgia" over the course of her first two albums. New York
Magazine has remarked that few singer-songwriters have written "great
records so explicitly about their teens ... Her nearest antecedent might be
sixties-era Brian Wilson, the one true adolescent auteur before she came
along". Comparisons have also been drawn with Janis Ian. Fairytale imagery
featured on Swift's second album, Fearless. She explored the disconnect
"between fairy tales and the reality of love". Her third and fourth
albums addressed more adult relationships. In addition to romance and love,
Swift's songs have discussed parent-child relationships ("The Best
Day", "Never Grow Up", "Ronan"), friendships
("Fifteen", "Breathe", "22"), alienation ("The
Outside", "A Place In This World", "Tied Together with a Smile",
"Mean") and career ambitions ("Change", "Long
Live", "The Lucky One"). Her defining quality as a songwriter,
it has been said, is "a determination to register and hang onto fleeting
feelings and impressions, a pre-emptive nostalgia for a present (and sometimes
even a future) that she knows will some day be in the past". Swift
frequently includes "a tossed-off phrase to suggest large and serious
things that won't fit in the song, things that enhance or subvert the surface
narrative". The New Yorker has said that her songs, "though they are
not subversive, have a certain sophistication ... Sentimental songs are laced
with intimations of future disillusionment".</P>
<iframe

style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
<P>Structurally, Slate notes that Swift has
"effortless, preternatural mastery of pop conventions: Very few
songwriters can build better bridges than she does." Rolling Stone has
described her as "a songwriting savant with an intuitive gift for
verse-chorus-bridge architecture". The Village Voice has noted that Swift
uses third-verse POV reversals frequently. She has a tendency to use the same
images repeatedly. In the words of The Guardian, "she spends so much time
kissin' in the rain that it seems a miracle she hasn't developed
trenchfoot". However, "to Swift's credit, she explores new lyrical
motifs over the course of [her fourth] album." American Songwriter
describes Swift as "a great songwriter, who writes with an unmatched and
almost unnatural acuity ... Even her earliest material is characterized by
thoughtful – perhaps meticulous – word choice and deliberate melodic
construction, with nary a lazy rhyme or aimless tune to be found." While
reviews of Swift's work are "almost uniformly positive", The New
Yorker has said she is generally portrayed "more as a skilled technician
than as a Dylanesque visionary".</P>

<P>Swift uses autobiographical detail in her work.
Listening to music as a child, she felt confused "when I knew something
was going on in someone's personal life and they didn't address it in their
music". The New York Times believes that "righting wrongs is Ms.
Swift's raison d'être". In her songs, Swift often addresses the
"anonymous crushes of her high school years" and, more recently,
fellow celebrities. John Mayer, the presumed subject of "Dear John",
has said the song "humiliated" him: "I think it's kind of cheap
songwriting. I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not trying to
sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your hands together
and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!'" The Village Voice has
downplayed this aspect of Swift's songwriting: "Being told What Songs Mean
is like having a really pushy professor. And it imperils a true appreciation of
Swift's talent, which is not confessional, but dramatic." New York
Magazine believes the media scrutiny over her decision to use autobiographical
detail "is sexist, inasmuch as it’s not asked of her male peers":
"It’s a relief to see Swift, the ur-nice-girl, refuse to give the mea culpa
that many journalists she's talked to have sought." The singer herself has
said that all her songs are not factual and are often based on observations.
Aside from her liner note clues, Swift tries not to talk specifically about
song subjects "because these are real people. You try to give insight as
to where you were coming from as a writer without completely throwing somebody
under the bus."</P>

<P>Swift's music contains elements of country, country
pop, pop and pop rock. She self-identifies as a country artist. Rolling Stone
asserts that, "she might get played on the country station, but she's one
of the few genuine rock stars we've got these days". Swift's own
definition of country music "is really pretty simple. It's when someone
sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place ... One guy
will write about how he grew up on a farm and fell in love and raised kids on
that same farm. Some people sing about how, when they get sad, they go to the
bar and drink whiskey. I write songs about how I can't seem to figure out
relationships and how I'm fascinated by love". She has said there will be
"a huge temptation" to make an alt-country record as her career
progresses. The New York Times notes that, "There isn't much in Ms.
Swift's music to indicate country – a few banjo strums, a pair of cowboy boots
worn onstage, a bedazzled guitar – but there's something in her winsome,
vulnerable delivery that's unique to Nashville." The New Yorker believes
she is "considered part of Nashville's country-pop tradition only because
she writes narrative songs with melodic clarity and dramatic shape—Nashville's
stock-in-trade." The Guardian has said that Swift "cranks melodies
out with the pitiless efficiency of a Scandinavian pop
factory".</P><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=carsautomaga-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B0080CO2F4&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr"

<P>Swift's voice has been described as "sweet but
soft". In studio recordings, the Los Angeles Times identifies Swift's
"defining" vocal gesture as "the line that slides down like a
contented sigh or up like a raised eyebrow, giving her beloved girl-time hits
their air of easy intimacy". Rolling Stone, in a Speak Now review,
remarked: "Swift's voice is unaffected enough to mask how masterful she
has become as a singer; she lowers her voice for the payoff lines in the
classic mode of a shy girl trying to talk tough". In another review of
Speak Now, The Village Voice noted that her phrasing was previously "bland
and muddled, but that's changed. She can still sound strained and thin, and
often strays into a pitch that drives some people crazy; but she's learned how
to make words sound like what they mean". In a live setting, Swift,
according to The Hollywood Reporter, "does her best, but certainly doesn't
have the pipes to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Christina Aguilera or Carrie
Underwood". Her live vocals have been described as "flat",
"thin, and sometimes as wobbly as a newborn colt". However, Swift has
received praise for refusing to correct her pitch with Auto-Tune. In an
interview with The New Yorker, Swift characterized herself primarily as a
songwriter: "I write songs, and my voice is just a way to get those lyrics
across". Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Records has conceded that Swift is
"not the best technical singer" but describes her as the "best
communicator that we've got". Swift's vocal presence is something that
concerns her and she has "put a lot of work" into improving it. It
was reported in 2010 that she continues to take vocal lessons. She has said
that she only feels nervous performing "if I'm not sure what the audience
thinks of me, like at award shows".</P>

<P>Swift has been described as "America's
sweetheart" and "a role model".She has high Q Score and Davie-Brown
Index ratings, reflecting a high level of public awareness (90 percent) and
popularity (80 percent) in the United States. The singer considers it her
"responsibility" to be conscious of her influence on young fans. A
Rolling Stone journalist who profiled Swift in 2009 remarked upon her polite
manners: "If this is Swift's game face, it must be tattooed on because it
never drops". In 2012, Rolling Stone remarked upon Swift's "ease with
glad-handing ... it's not hard to imagine her running for office someday"
while The Hollywood Reporter referred to her as "the Best People Person
Since Bill Clinton". It has been said that she is "the kind of
driven, intensely ambitious person who’d thrive regardless of her
profession". A 2012 Vogue cover story described Swift as "clever and
funny and occasionally downright bawdy" in person. Grantland describes
Swift as "dorky" and "openly neurotic in a way you'd never see
from a blonde country princess like Faith Hill or Carrie Underwood. She is more
like Diane Keaton in Annie Hall: overly gracious and eager to please but full
of a nonstop, nervous, fluttering energy". There has been much media
commentary about Swift's surprised reactions when she is recognized at award
ceremonies. Swift laughingly noted that "people make so much fun of
me". Although she sometimes tries to act blasé, "it's just hard when
you get excited about stuff. It's like, if you win an award, isn't that crazy?
... How do you sit there and be like 'Oh, another Grammy. I guess I'm gonna get
that now'?"</P>

<P>In the early years of her career, Swift's signature
look consisted of sundresses and cowboy boots. This fashion style is still
copied by many of the young fans who attend her concerts. At formal events,
Swift became known for "sparkly, beaded dresses". Her naturally curly
hairstyle is replicated by fans, and Swift has remarked: "I remember
straightening my hair because I wanted to be like everybody else, and now the
fact that anybody would emulate what I do? It's just funny." She was asked
by Vogue to cut bangs for a cover shoot in late 2011, and now straightens her
hair. Swift favors retro style and it has been said that she has the look of
"a nineteen-thirties movie siren ... red lipstick, thick mascara."
She was named an Icon of American Style by Vogue in 2011. She has named
Françoise Hardy, Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, and Audrey Hepburn as her own
style inspirations.</P>
